are yall roster or org fans

#1

Hobbit

i think that org fans are not common these days. only exceptions i can think of are maybe sen, nrg, 100t, fnc, m8, kc, and koi fans?

i love fnatic, but i wouldn't have the same appreciation for this team if boaster or chronicle weren't playing

nrg has no org fans, nrg is basically almost all player fans
fnatic has org fans i think

idk i'd argue that maybe a lot of nrg fans are s0m fans, but i've seen a pretty consistent and loyal fanbase since challengers

it obviously got bigger when they adquired the optic core

coming from normal sports i've always found it weird that most are actually fans of rosters

because orgs have no real cultural history behind them like football clubs

its simply because esports fans are glory hunters

they dont even like players they just like teams that win which is fair

bandwagoning is the correct definition tho

tons of 100t fans when 100t are good, tons of g2 fans when g2 are good

not because of fans, it's more of orgs offering literally nothing of substance to the fans

that's not inaccurate, most football fans were born from communities a long time ago and reap the fruits of tradition to this day

however, i still find it weird

that's very true, people just pick successful players and cheer for them instead of picking a team and going through thick and thin

there's a lampant lack of passion in the community,
though that's understandable given the teams are all just corporate shells, like jawn was saying

bit of both. ive been following nrg since 2017 rl and sorta just gained attachment to the org and started rooting for them. ive carried that over to val. FNS and s0m having nice streamer personalities definitely adds to it though

i think a lot of the fnatic fanbase on valorant is there because of boaster chron and alfa

if they got rid of the whole roster or their players went to other teams, i'd say that lots of people would either stop supporting or like the team as much

good thing is that fnc got one of the best content productions in vct, so they are good at giving their new players a personality

but outside valorant, sure, they have a shit ton of org fans

I feel a soft spot for some orgs for various reasons but generally I will like a roster more
for example, all though they have been long gone despite a recent return i have a really soft spot for ghost gaming as i recall it being one of the first teams i watched, the same goes for nrg because they were the first team i realized i liked when i started viewing (pre-reykjavik)

i see a lot of c9 fans but they're never too loud since c9 doesn't qualify to anything

hope c9 gets a roster good enough to qualify to internationals one day

players/rosters, I legit will love a team one year and hate it the next.

Being a roster fan creates annoying SEN fans.

Roster fans. I only became a SEN fan bc of zekken pickup. If he was to go to another team i'd support that team instead (I'd still root for SEN bc I like john and zellsis too but defo less than now).

org. AG's super likable as an org in other games due to them developing players and prioritizing tier 2 and budget talent. they're super respected in other CN games because their existence is generally super beneficial & they have good reputation with almost all of their staff & streamers
